Hitler Youth armbands

[Anthony N]

A friend of mine is selling part of his collection & some of it falls outside of my expertise.
Would welcome opinions on these HJ Armbands, especially as one is embroidered. Angola states that they're a rare variation but that doesn't help me verify originality!
Any ideas of current value as well would be appreciated so we can work out a deal.
Thanks, Ant.

Thanks John, i assume you're talking about the first armband.
It's so difficult, my knowledge isn't enough to say either way which sways me towards not buying it.

Both of those are absolutely real and very nice. The first one is actually BEVo woven and not embroidered.

Hi,

I'm not an authority on HJ armbands - perhaps a more educated person could give you guidence on the authenticiy of the armband. I'm not sure....

Best regards,

Thanks Chris, maybe you can tell i've never owned an armband! Bevo woven, embroidered....it's all new to me.
Thanks for your input.
